Ingredients

• 500 grams Fresh pineapple (peeled and cored)
• 300 grams Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 50 milliliters Water

Directions

Step 1

1. Cut the fresh pineapple into small chunks and place them in a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth to create a pineapple puree.

Step 2

2. Measure out 500 grams of the pineapple puree and transfer it to a heavy-bottomed saucepan.

Step 3

3. Add 300 grams of granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice, and 50 milliliters of water to the saucepan. Stir to combine.

Step 4

4. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil while stirring constantly. This ensures the sugar dissolves completely and prevents sticking.

Step 5

5. Reduce the heat to low and let the pineapple mixture simmer gently for about 25-30 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning or sticking.

Step 6

6. During the simmering process, you will notice the mixture thickening as the water evaporates. Keep an eye on the consistency. The jam is ready when it coats the back of a spoon and has a glossy appearance.

Step 7

7. To test the jam's consistency further, place a small spoonful on a chilled plate and let it cool. If it wrinkles when pushed with a finger, it is done.

Step 8

8. Once the jam reaches the desired consistency, remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool slightly for 5-10 minutes.

Step 9

9. Carefully transfer the warm jam into sterilized glass jars, leaving about 1 cm of headspace at the top. Seal the jars tightly with lids.

Step 10

10. Allow the jam to cool completely at room temperature before storing it in the refrigerator. The jam can be kept refrigerated for up to 1 month.
